Difference between BACKUP RMAN commands

Hi Friends
Are there any difference between these 02 commands?
I mean, if I type "backup as compressed backupset database;" it will show me on v$rman_backup_job_details the input_type DB FULL.
If I type "backup as compressed backupset incremental level 0 database;" it shows me DB INC.
My doubt is:
Proceeding with "backup as compressed backupset database" makes a level 0 backup to be used with "backup as compressed backupset incremental level 1 database;" ????
Or I must proceed with the command incremental level 0 to use it with future level1 operations?
I'm running 11.2.0.3.0 on Windows Server

A level 0 incremental backup, which is the base for subsequent incremental backups, copies all blocks containing data, backing the datafile up into a backup set just as a full backup would. The only difference between a level 0 incremental backup and a full backup is that a full backup is never included in an incremental strategy.

  • What is the difference between using the command "dsmgmt" and the "Managed By" tab when adding users to the local administrators Account on a Read-Only Domain Controller?

    When I use the
    "dsmgmt" command to add a user to the local administrators account of a RODC I can actually see the user when I use the "Show Role Administrators" parameter. However, I can't see the members of the
    group added to the "Managed By" tab of the RODC object in AD. Even though, the users added using
    "dsmgmt" and by the "Managed By" tab can all log in locally and have admin rights to the RODC. Are there any differences between these two ways of adding users to the local administrators account? 

    Hi,
    For groups, managedBy is an administrative convenience to designate “group admins”. Whatever principal listed in
    managedBy gets permission to update a group’s membership (the actual security is updated on the group’s AD object to allow this).
    In Win2008 and later managedBy also became the way you delegated local administration on an RODC, allowing branch admins to install patches, manage shares, etc. (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755310(WS.10).aspx). 
    On the RODC, this is updating the RepairAdmin registry value within RODCRoles.
    So the difference between them should be only the way they do the same thing.

  • Difference between backup and sync ?

    What is the difference between a backup and doing a sync ?

    backup is part of the sync procedure. If you uncheck the "Sync contacts to.." box under the phone info, special field names used in the contacts list won't get lost as they will if iTunes tries to stuff your contact fields into some address book on your host computer. Create a contact with a few phone numbers like "Main" and "Support" and "Shipping" as additional phone numbers. Do a SYNC, and check your address book on the host computer. You'll find that data is simply gone for these additional phone number fields.
    Apparently if you don't SYNC to an address book, the sync/backup procedure saves the special fields in the backup directory. Maybe it even saves these fields if you backup using the SYNC approach, but this isn't the impression left by 2nd level tech support. Their solution is to get mobile me to keep your contacts list from getting corrupted or losing data.

  • Difference between backup, sync and transfer?

    I've read the iPad book and a few Apple tech notes on this but am still not 100% clear on the differences. It seems we can sync, backup and transfer our iPad data to our computers.
    Frankly, I don't understand why there isn't just one process that "backs up" your iPad to your computer so there is a mirror copy of data in case you need to restore your iPad, existing or new one if lost.
    Can some one summarize the difference between the 3 and a strategy to have ALL your iPad info on your computer? I use MobileMe BTW so my contacts and calendar are always synced using Push.
    Thanks. Steven

    A backup only backs up up certain items. Other items are synced from your library and other places. See the following for what is in a backup:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079
    The transfer only transfers/copies iTunes purchases to a computer. It is useful when you buy items directly from the itunes store from your iPad. It is also very useful when your computer crashed and you do not have a backup. Thus, you can transfer music (which you can't redownload for free unlike app where your can).
    Unless you cancel it, a backup is made every time you sync. Doing a backup alone is useful if you computer crashed and you do not have a backup. That way you can, along with doing other things like transferring purchases, get your iPad back to syncing with a "new" computer.

  • Difference between backup incremental level 0 Vs incremental level 1?

    I am getting confuse. I have 2 commands:
    -- Weekly full backup --
    backup incremental level 0 database plus archivelog delete all input;
    -- Daily backup --
    backup incremental level 1 cumulative database plus archvielog delete all inputs;
    What is the different if I put "level 1" in the weekly full backup and "level 0" in daily backup?

  • What is is the difference between these two command that enable Multicast?

    I see that both get used frequently. My WLC does not seem to support the top one:
    config network ap-mcast-mode multicast 239.239.239.239
    config network multicast mode multicast 239.239.239.239
    Thanks

    Yes, first one may be a old command in previous WLC code versions. No longer supported in newer codes.
    You only require 2nd command to configure a multicast group for WLC to use for CAPWAP multicast for APs.

  • Is there a difference between backup and sync?

    I'm really confused....
    Looking at iTunes (on my pc), I see all my apps there, with the amt of space they take up.  However, when I look at my latest backup on my iPad, it lists the very same apps (I think!!) but shows "no data" on many of the apps that show up when I look at them on iTunes.  What is going on here?  I'm trying to back up my iPad to the iCloud and it doesn't back up all my apps. I have 4.7G of space available on my cloud.   I've tried several times over the past couple of days.  I've done a "soft reboot" on the ipad, turned it on and off, backed it up to my computer, etc and still, when I try to back up to the cloud, only some of my apps are showing.  Is it something stupid like I don't have them checked somewhere?  Because I've looked in iTunes (on my pc) and on my iPad and all the apps are checked.  Thanks for your help.  This is driving me nuts.  :-/

    Yes, I have all my apps to sync with iCloud.  And according to the backup file size calculator, it's only 300M or so, which is WRONG. I f I add up all the apps (set to "on") it should be well over 300M. It will not, however, exceed the 5G of free cloud space.
    I also have an iPhone and use the cloud with it, too, but it has a different AppleID for iCloud. Both my iPad and iPhone use the same appleID for iTunes. I set it up this way to get 5G of could storage for each of my devices. And it looks like it worked (5G available in each iCloud account) except the iPad backup isn't complete, and as I have stated earlier, is nowhere near the 5G limit.

  • Difference between backup and timemachine?

    Why is it that Bckup can determine which indvidual files have changed in Aperture and timemachine cannot?
    I think its totally stupid that if I add one 2 meg photo to time machine, 60 gigs. Yes thats right 60 gigs has to be written to my time machine harddrive.
    Why can the ancient apple backup utility work this stuff out and the uber cool 22nd century time machine cannot.
    Yes I am frustrated. The most important files to me are my photos. And yet its these files that I have to exclude if I don't want to bog down my network for hours at a time and use up a 500 gig harddrive in just over 3 weeks (based on one week of time machine backups with aperture included)

    Well, I can't really help you. You have all the relevant information.
    FileVault presents new problems for TM because TM will not backup a FV protected account until after the user logs out. If your backup is on a network device then TM has to back up the sparseimage file each time it backs up (at least that appears to be what happens.)
    Backing up to networked drives makes the whole backup process much slower, but I don't know if you have alternative solutions available to you.
    Personally, I don't and won't use TM. I much prefer a third-party utility with much greater flexibility. My suggestions:
    Backup Software Recommendations
    My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
    2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
    6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
    7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
    8. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
    9. Data Backup (Commercial)
    The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
    1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
    2. arRSync
    Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility.

  • Difference between redundancy & recovery window, rman

    Hi All,
    i want to know the difference between following two commands i.e.
    1. configure retention policy to redundancy 1;
    2. configure retention policy to recovery window of 1 days;
    we are taking rman based FULL backup every night, so just want to keep one day old backup, would like to know which one of the above is more appropriate.
    Regards,

    Nayyares,
    You should read this section of the docs,
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmconc1.htm#i1008093
    Redundanc is nothing but the number of copies. So you decide that you want to keep all the time , 3 copies of the backup of your db, you are going to use this. This serves the purpose that you can use this backup for whatever period of time in the past. Any copies before than these mentioned copies, will be marked obsolete by oracle. So if the number is 2 and , for example, you took first backups with tags A, B. Now when you will take the next backup with TAG C , A will be marked as obsolete. The most recent number of copies are kept irrespective of the time.
    Recovery window is that for how long , you want to go back in the past and be assured that the backup you have is sufficient for the recovery of db. This puts no limitations on the number of copies as like the Redundancy setting. So depending on your SLA, you may use the window timings.
    Both the settings are mutually exclusive so you don't have the liberty to go for both of them. As per your requirement, recovery window should work.
    As Sybrand mentioned, this all what I wrote is already in the docs(link mentioned by me above) so take some time and read it. Also, I would like to point you to this presentation which should make use of RMAN more clear.

  • Difference between Full backup and lncremental level 0 backup

    Hi,
    What is the difference between Full backup and lncremental level 0 backup?
    what I understand is:
    Actually incremental backup backups all the block containing data and skips the blocks that are unused.
    Similarly full backup backups all the blocks containing data.(does it skip unused blocks ?????).
    The only difference that I feel is that the level 0 backup is recorded as an incremental backup in the RMAN repository, so it can be used as the parent for a level 1 backup where Full database backup is not recorded in the Rman respository and cannot be used as parent for level 1 backup.
    (if you still feel you have some more points to share regarding the difference between backups, I request to share with me)
    so my question here is
    Can we use Incremental level 0 backup for full database recovery. Else is there any compulsion like we must only use full database backup for full database recovery?
    can anyone throw light on this
    with regards;
    Boo

    nowhere in this thread we talked about the image copies as we are only talking about the incremental backup.
    The word "always" has a meaning. If you now wish to say, "well, RMAN will mostly use a level 0 or full backup, except when there are image copies around" then the word "always" doesn't fit your newly-revised description. That would make it an inappropriate word to use. And indeed, it's a factually wrong word to use.
    If you want to get really picky about it, incidentally, the words 'datafile copy' appear in a post from me at Aug 4, 2007 6:03 PM whereas your post (in which the "always" word was used) only appears Aug 4, 2007 8:32 PM -a full 2 and a half hours (and and two posts) AFTER the concept of image copies had been mentioned.
    But regardless of times: you can't just pretend image copies don't exist just because they haven't been mentioned so far in a thread. If you post "this is the way something ALWAYS works", you'd better be completely right about it, because "ALWAYS" is a big word. And there's no grey about this: either "always" is right, or it's wrong. And in this case, it's wrong: there are many times when RMAN will not do what you baldly asserted it would do. Image copies aren't some rare, exotic beast, either... so the occasions when your 'rule' breaks down are many and common.
    until now I was simply beliving in what Oracle docs and metalink notes says
    Try not to do that. Because you will fall into error after error if you do. Metalink is not the Holy Gospel of Oracle. Testing is, and it's because I've been testing this stuff since 1999 I will, on this occasion, decline your kind invitation to do "a small test". Been there, done that.
    All of which leaves us discussing things that are of no relevance to the original poster, and I have no desire to take the thread off into silly areas of dispute. So I will leave it there, and I have nothing further to say on the matter. RMAN does what it does, and what it does is not what you said it would do. End of story.

  • What's the difference between RMAN and Datapump?

    I'm just wondering about differences between using RMAN and Datapump? If i'm backing up data, moving data, extraction and import times? Thanks.

    Hi,
    The diference between Data Pump and RMAN is accurately the type of the back up.
    The Data Pump to make logic backup and RMAN to make phisycal backup.

  • What is the difference between these two partitioning related commands?

    What is the difference between the following commands used to drop a partitioned table ?
    DROP TABLE...
    DROP TABLE...PERGE

    Oracle Database processes a DROP TABLE statement for a partitioned table in the same
    way that it processes the statement for a non-partitioned table. One exception that was
    introduced in Oracle Database 10g Release 2 is when you use the PURGE keyword.
    To avoid running into resource constraints, the DROP TABLE...PURGE statement for a
    partitioned table drops the table in multiple transactions, where each transaction drops
    a subset of the partitions or subpartitions and then commits. The table becomes
    completely dropped at the conclusion of the final transaction
    First, if the DROP TABLE...PURGE statement fails, you can take corrective action, if any,
    and then reissue the statement. The statement resumes at the point where it failed.
    Second, while the DROP TABLE...PURGE statement is in progress, the table is marked as
    unusable by setting the STATUS column to the value UNUSABLE in the following data
    dictionary views:
    ■ USER_TABLES, ALL_TABLES, DBA_TABLES
    ■ USER_PART_TABLES, ALL_PART_TABLES, DBA_PART_TABLES
    ■ USER_OBJECT_TABLES, ALL_OBJECT_TABLES, DBA_OBJECT_TABLES
